[quote=Anonymous]I like 13:13's list, although I'm not sure about the requirement that everyone pay some tuition which would exclude the poorest families. Also I worry about having "the ability to remove disruptive kids" because that's so nebulous and, once you start charging any tuition, I can't see it working any better than it did in our private. Unless we are making completely pie-in-the-sky lists, in which case we can assume away these problems, so go for it. Can I add, - Real language instruction. I had one kid in public immersion and one kid in a well-regarded area private where they learned the colors over again every year and made little progress towards fluency. Some blend of this would be nice. Maybe having the language classes meet more often than happened in our private school would be a good compromise. - Lots of kids from the neighborhood. (Crazy talk, I know, but boy did we get sick of driving when DC was in private.) [/quote]
